I've got some exciting news for anyone who is currently in Washington D.C., The Washington Toho Koto Society will be performing for FREE on April 11th (Wednesday) at 6pm at The Kennedy Center. Check it out!! It's going to be an amazing cultural experience!

Comment by maria cecilia santander on March 21, 2012 at 1:27pm: Thank you very much Ms. Emily -- I'll try to contact the Embassy of Japan. This is a big help. Thank you ♥

Comment by Emily Orr on March 21, 2012 at 9:35am: Hi Maria, welcome to our Japan group! Let me try and help with some of your questions:

1. Yes, it is possible that you can study in Japan even if you are from the Philippines.

2. I'm sure there are scholarships, but I think the best place to know more about exchange programs or scholarships would be to contact the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines. I think they will be a great resource. If this doesn't help, let me know and I can see what other information I can find for you. Good Luck!
